I believe employees are people first. My career has been built on this foundation, integrating respect, empathy, and a deep understanding of people in their workplaces. Whether engaging a construction worker, pharmacist, teacher, salesperson, or business owner, I recognize and appreciate the significance of their contributions.
Businesses succeed or fail based on their employees. No matter how strong a business model or innovative a strategy, without a capable, supported team, success is unsustainable. Yet, way too often, businesses fall short in developing, protecting, and addressing the real-life challenges of their people—paying a steep price in both performance and culture.
With over 40 years of professional experience—spanning industries such as construction, advertising, finance, and a decade in hospital critical care settings—I have come away with the understanding that everything centers on our people. I left a successful medical career to pursue a deeper mission: helping employees thrive. For the past 20+ years, I’ve focused on Employee Support and Mental/Emotional Wellbeing, knowing that work is the great equalizer—central to each person's identity, stability, and success.
When our employees' life challenges arise, work suffers, impacting individuals, teams, and businesses alike. But within those challenges lie opportunities for transformation. That’s where StrongerWork lives and makes a huge difference. We are built for a human workforce, providing a highly effective, employee-centered Employee Empowerment Program (EEP) that strengthens both people and businesses. And when StrongerWork does our job, everyone wins.
Originally from South Texas, I’ve lived across the country, settling in Phoenix in 2005. Married for over 30 years with three grown daughters, I hold degrees in Advertising, Respiratory Therapy, and Education. But more importantly, I am a lifelong student of the Golden Rule, business, and people—an honor that fuels my passion for serving others.
